In today’s Turkey Day vote, we begin winnowing down your choices for the marathon! Will CATALINA CAPER’s wholesome beach fun reign supreme over WARRIOR OF THE LOST WORLD’s dystopian future?
As a reminder, your votes will be deciding four of the episodes we show in this year’s Turkey Day Marathon, in a single-elimination bracket battle to the death! Or at least to the next round of voting!
New votes will go up on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays by noon ET, and close out 36 hours later. And even when we get to your top four choices, we’ll keep voting anyway to declare a tournament winner.
Yeah this one is going to be a close one. They’re both solid episodes, great riffs, good host segments … both movies are relatively watchable while still having loads of things to poke fun at. Really both episodes are legitimately in my top 25 episode list so either way the audience wins.
But I have to go with Warrior of the Lost World. Catalina Caper is a great episode, but its demeanor is one of cheesy, over-the-top, cornball humor served up Sixties Style. Warrior is trying to be serious, and that makes it a bit more riffable and makes it ultimately go down a little better.
